A NEW TREASURY VAULT.

Since John Sherman, who was Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mt tho tine, assert
ed that the passage of the Standard
Dollar bill would ruin the commerce Of
the country, there has been almost q
continuous vail kept up by the Treasury
uficiuls about the scarcity of room in
the IRE asury vaults. 70 stop this cry
the friends of silver in the last Congress
made an appropriation for building II
new vault, The Government is now ar
ranging for the construction of this
vault, and it is thought the contract
will he let this week. The vault will be
the largest for the storage OF money in
the world, and will be erected in court
Of the Treasury building. TIA dimen-
s,ous will be 81 by 80 feet and II feet
high on the inside ami it is calculated
to hold Que hupdEed millions in silver
dollars.
The construction of this vault will
stop the cry that there is not room for
any more dollars, and while it was the
best thing'thut silver meu could do, there
would be no necessity whatever for it il
reasonable proportion of the Govern
rnent expenditures was paid in silver, or
what would he better yet for large ma
jority of the people, if the financial af-
fairs Of the country were conducted on a

Peonliarities In Cans.

Wherever a French woman goes she
retains the particular cap of her native
province, and after the French and Ger
man war we confess it was not without
q sad feeling of sympathy we saw the
wearers of those of Alsace and Lorraine,
knowing those names must have been
deeply craven on their hearts. At the
same time the Alsatian bon, composed of
very broad black ribbon, became fash
ionable addition to q ladys wardrobe,
and must have seemed to the crushed in
habitants of that conquered region like
hourishing a victor's flag in the face of a
foe.
The voluminous cap worn by the
women of Boulogne is only remarkable
for its border, being about three inches
deep, stiff and fluted. When the wearer
rests it falls over the forehead, and is
only seen to advantage when walking
against the wind, which fills it like
sail and makes it stand erect, the flutings
radiating from the face as a center-a
little suggestive Of the head of saint in
picture by an old master, surrounded
by halo. When the weather calls for
warmer covering the cap is surmounted
by hood of some wooden material;
never hat or a bonnet. The French
peasant remains peasant to the end of
her days, and does not affect an imita-
ton of her superiors or appear in their
discarded finery. Cor. San
Francisco Chronicle.

where Cremonas Are Made.

Markneukirchen, little town in Sax
Ony, is known far beyond the frontier of
that kingdom as the place where excellent
musical instruments are manufactured,
more especially violins, to which latter it
owes the name of Saxon Cremona" It's
manufactures comprises nearly the whole
field of instruments, such as guitars,
flutes, clarionets, wind instruments Tin
brass and German silver, accordions,
conCertinas, zithers, bass violins, violon-
cellos, etc. Many a musician owns an
instrument regarding which he barely
knows whence it came owing to the fact
that large portion of the Markneullirchen
manufacturers sail under foreign flag;
and many an instrument bearing a cele-
brated label originated in the quiet
little Saxon town. which at the present
moment stands at the head Of this special
branch of industry City Times.

The natives of Ceylon have queer boats.
They are quite long, and so narrow, says
a correspondent, that 1 could not keep in
one of them without putting one leg in
front of the other. The whole affair
stands well up out of the water and is
kept from capsizing by long balance
log about six feet out from the boat and
secured to it by two lightly curved spars.
All that saw had small square rags for
sails, which could only be set with free
wind. When the wind gets strong one
or more of the crew are sent out to squat
on the balance log, the number found
necessary for this purpose denoting the
strength of the wind-thus they speak of
a one man gale, a two man gale and so
on. They are said to be excellent sea
boats and to make good speed, but no one
accuses them of being comfortable.

A CHINESE gLuNDeReUss.

A Clumsy and UnwieIdy WeaPon-A
Load for Two Men.
Two Chinese blunderbusses have been
received from Shanghai by the Winches-
ter Arms company from their agent IN
China. The largest weighs 30 pounds, Is
over 6 feet long, and the barrel contains
almost metal enough to make a good
sized cannon of the present day. 1t APP
pears to be made of iron three-eighths of
am inch thick at the nluZzle, with bore
one inch in diameter. The wood work
extends to within few inches of the
muzZle. and the barrel is made fast TO it
by five iron bands rudely but firmly riv-
eted together. Just what kind Of wood
it was made of no one could tell, but 1t
seemed as hard as hickory. The stock or
butt was very small and was not made
after the pattern Of the stocks of the
present arms now in use.
For the trigger or hammer a peculiar
device was resOrted to. An incision about
one-quarter of an inch wide was made in
the center of the barrel stock, through
which, fastened by a pivot, was sus-
pended the trigger, formed in the shape
of an s, with a split at the top forming
two prongs, in which probably was placed
some combustible, and when the under
part was pulled backward it would de-
scend upon little projection at the left
side of the barrel, probably intended for
a flint pan. Taking it all in all, it was
about the most clumsy and unwieldy
weapon ever got up, and when loaded
must have been fully as dangerous to the
possessor as the intended victims, if not
more so. Unless he was a giant and
possessed of herculean strength no one
man could ever manipulate it, and the
Chinese must have been giants in the days
when it was used.
1t was explained by representative of
the Winchesters later, however, that the
guns were intended for two men to
handle. One man went ahead and car
ried it upon the shoulders. Behind him
came the soldier who did the sighting and
pulled the trigger. No one was able to
tell whatever became of both men after
the charge had been fired. 1t must have
kicked bad enough to knock the rear man
out the first round, and the man in front
well, the conclusion would be sufficient
to knock the head off an ordinary mans
shoulders. The smaller weapon was
much after the same pattern, but looked
much more harmless. 1t had cord at
tached, evidently for the purpose of
swinging it over the shoulder to carry
while on a march.-New Haven Union.

How Lincoln Used an Almanac.


In his boyhood Lincoln was be-
friended by family in humble cir
cumstances, who generously aided
him in the effort to attain advance
ment in life. He afterwards left his
little town to seek wider sphere of
action, with mental vow to repay
the kindness of these unselfish
friends. After many years he re-
turned to the scene of his early strug-
gle successful lawyer, with q name
already known to fame. The COM
munity was agitated over murder
committed in its midst by. one
of its well-known townsfolk.
Lincoln was requested to under
take the defense; the particulars were
furnished him and by a strange inter-
position of fate he saw the way to repay
his early debts-for the accused was the
son of his friend. There was little
chance to refute the evidence against
the young man, for two respected citi-
zens swore to the recognition of his
face by the light of the moon as they
surprised him at the side of his VIC
tim. Lincoln arose to open the de-
fense. He carelessly asked for an
almanac, which he saw lying on the
clerks desk, simply for the sake of gain
ing time, while he sought in his mind
for a clew to the sympathies of the
jury-a cold, hard set of men, with
convictions already formed. AS he
abstractedly flattened the leaves of the
book his eyes, even at this trying mo-
ment, lit up with something akin to
that keen sense of humor so character
istic of him, and he began his speech.
His words fell like the rattling of ar
tillery upon the astonished, spellbound
audience, and without leaving the box
the Jury returned verdict of "not
guilty" He cleared the prisoner and
found the witnesses guilty of perjury.
"But, gentlemen" said Lincoln,
years after in telling this story, 81 was
careful to keep that almanac in my
hand the while, and to carry it out of
court with me-there was no other
copy there"
"What had the almanac to do with
it?" questioned my friend.
at was year DID," said Lincoln,
with a twinkle of humor in his eye,
"and proved conclusively that the
moon did not shine ON the night of the
date of the murder--in the previous
year. When the truth leaked out, as
of course it did, they could not try the
man over again, and wisely concluded
that silence is golden. ''-[ Atlanta

DYSPEPSIA.

Sedel'tary habits, mental worry, nervous
excitement, excess or imprudence in eat
ing or drinking, and various other causes,
induce Constipation followed by general
arrangement of the liver, kidneys, and
stomach, in which the disorder of each
organ increases the infirmity of the others.
The immediate results are Loss of Appe-
lite, Nausea, Foul Breath, Heartburn, Flat
ulence, Dizziness, Sick Headaches, failure
of physical and mental vigor. distressing
sense of weight and fullness in the stomach,
and increased Costiveness, all of which are
known under one head as Dyspepsia.
Ineyery instance where this disease does
not originate from scrofulous faint in the
blood, AYERS PILLS may be confidently
relied upon to effect cure. Those cases
not amenable to the curative influence of
AYERS PILLS alone will certainly yield If
the PILLS are aided by the powerful blood
purifying properties of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA. .
Dyspeptics should know that the longer
treatment of their malady is postponed,
the more difficult of cure it becomes.

Pills

Never fail to relieve the bowels and pro-
mote their healthful and regular action,
and thus cure Dyspepsia. Temporary
palliatives all do permanent harm. The
titful activity into which the enfeebled
stomach is spurred by 'btters," and alcO-
hoic stimuants, is inevitably followed
by reaction that leaves the organ weaker
than before.
